When I rebooted chrome was uninstalled gain and I just tried playing a basic windows game (Solitaire) and after a minute or so windows froze up again. Then when waiting to log in I got the clock interrupt BSOD.

**Edit** It seems that idling on the desktop works fine now but after doing something after being idle causes a reboot.

After a restart I managed to get this error report from windows if it helps:

The dump again points to the CPU having issues and such damage is often caused by bad OCing, note what I have highlighted below and for suggested remedial steps see here courtesy of H2SO4 on the Windows Seven Forums.

Yes, IF, a fail after performing step 7, given that you have tried extensive hardware test.

"7) As the last of the non-invasive troubleshooting steps, perform a "vanilla" reinstallation of Windows: just the OS itself without any additional applications, games, utilities, updates, or new drivers - NOTHING AT ALL that is not sourced from the Windows 7 disc. Should that fail to mitigate the 0x124 problem, jump to the next steps. Otherwise, if you run the "vanilla" installation long enough to convince yourself that not a single 0x124 crash has occurred, start installing updates and applications slowly, always pausing between successive additions long enough to get a feel for whether the machine is still free from 0x124 crashes. Should the crashing resume, obviously the very last software addition(s) may be somehow linked to the root cause."
